Apology not accepted: Jimmy Carter thinks that an apology will make up for his years of anti-Israel propaganda. Stop calling Israel an “apartheid” state, stop calling the security fence an “apartheid” fence, stop blaming Israel for all of the region’s ills, and I’ll think about not saying eff you to you every time I read your name. Oh. And recall all the copies of your anti-Israel screeds. Whoops, you can’t do that. So eff you. And by the way: What’s his agenda on this? He clearly doesn’t like Israel, and frankly doesn’t like Jews, so what’s up with the phony apology? Is the Carter Center losing funding? Surely the Saudis are still paying his salary!
1,000 to 1 odds: Gilad Shalit may actually be heading back to Israel, and convicted mass murderers will be heading to Gaza and the West Bank in return. But Hamas appears to be balking at the idea of not allowing the mass murderers in the West Bank (Israel wants them deported), where they will find it easier to go back to murdering Jews. The utter refusal of Arabs to compromise with Israel in any way, shape, or form seems to be making sure that this deal will never happen, though. And on the sidelines, a group of rabbis have drafted Halachic rules for prisoner swaps for the future. The rules will prohibit the exchange of live terrorists for dead Israelis. Good. Samir Kuntar should never have been released. Now, if only Israel will institute the death penalty for terrorist acts, these swaps would end.
Hamas condemns Egyptian Gaza wall: Hey, at least someone is condemning it. Don’t expect there to be weekly protests against it, though. Don’t expect the UN and EU to talk about how it’s an apartheid wall, yadda yadda, blah, blah, blah. Because it’s not being built by Jews.
Sweden will make you free? The Auschwitz sign was on its way to Sweden. I’m telling you, someone really has to see where Marc Garlasco was the last week or so.
Israel is killing Christmas! When you read the stories about how the separation fence is killing Christmas, refer everyone back to this interview with Mahmoud Abbas in an Arab paper, where he says this:
Let us consider Bethlehem as an example. Last year we received 1,400,000 tourists, and this year there are 2 million tourists. There are no empty beds at any hotel in the city; therefore there are preparations to introduce one thousand, perhaps two or three thousand, beds.
And what has changed in Bethlehem? Oh, that’s right. There aren’t any more terrorist attacks. Not that the MSM will acknowledge that as the real reason business has picked up there.
He must have realized what he is doing to his “world to come”. Maybe one of the victims of terror came to him in a dream and told him the truth about what he is doing.
Oh, and that anti-semitic “organ harvesting” story turned out to be about one Israeli doctor, ten years ago, who illegally re-sold the organs of dead Israelis as well as Palestinians for profit, and was dismissed from his position as a result.
That’s how you destroy a democracy… kill it with demands of absolute saintly perfection, that can never be met in the real world.
What do Jimmy Carter and the Long Island Railroad have in common? They both pull out of Roslyn at 7:45…
Maybe Carter should open up a chain of peanut farms in the west bank and gaza named after his “super friends”( the elders)
Something about this guy and nuts seem to go together along with frutcake.
Carter’s grandson is running for the Georgia state senate.

May have something to do with it.
Regarding the so called Carter “apology,” too little, and to damn late!
Sending a letter to Jewish organizations is not enough, send a detailed op-ed article to the Times and Post, with a sincere rebuttal of your previous anti Israel screeds, and then ask for forgiveness!
I saw Carter being interviewed once by Bill Moyers, giving a sarcastic rant about the “Chosen People”, his voice and demeanor just dripping venom and hatred. This guy is a Jew-hater on a par with Buchanan, Farrakhan and David Duke. I agree with the poster who said he’s doing it for his son’s political career – there are a lot of Jews residing in his district. It’s a lead-pipe cinch he doesn’t really mean it.
If you could narrow down the year, I could find that interview. I’ve never been able to.
Meryl, it was quite a long time ago. I remember watching it in my old apartment which places it 1995 or earlier, probably late ’80s or early ’90s. There was other stuff in it too. First he piously berated American Jews for not being more sympathethic to the Palestinians and I remember thinking, “He’s talking about my parents’ generation, people who lived throught the Holocaust and to whom the establishment of Israel was so meaningful, not to mention that the only face the Palestinians had shown up to that time had been hatred and terrorism, Munich and the Achille Lauro”. That was bad enough but when he started in with the “chosen people” garbage I became really angry. I couldn’t believe a former President of the US was spouting off like David Duke.
